As pedagogy, the institute follows classroom discussions, case studies, interactive presentations, guest lectures, expert sessions, seminars, conferences, and case law methods coupled with practical training through moot courts.
The undergraduate programmes have a special emphasis on law practice and legal education with pleading, drafting skills, and a pro-bono approach. The programmes are designed to provide participants with enough drafting and pleading skills in all areas of law, intermixed with non-law areas.
